[Ching293]

[DairyRon]

Why there's another match of kkk/nhl in the last match at court 3? I thought they played just now already??

they play 2 match today...

malaysia WCH starting dam powerful :eek: hope he will win :D

[simonlovers]

Why there's another match of kkk/nhl in the last match at court 3? I thought they played just now already??
because it was 1st Round match..
and they will play 2nd round match..
all 2nd round XD finished except KKK/NHL vs DUTCH XD and Taipe XD vs France XD,,,,
u can see the draw...

[avataar]

WCH is stretching and wincing, lets see how this develops

[avataar]

very bad body language from the finn!! he is not even trying

[simonlovers]

C'mon Larissa Griga !!!
:D

[Ching293]

because it was 1st Round match..
and they will play 2nd round match..
all 2nd round XD finished except KKK/NHL vs DUTCH XD and Taipe XD vs France XD,,,,
u can see the draw...

oh alright..Thanks..

[aresya]

how come all the thailand MD, WD & XD withdraw????
terrorist? H1N1? all injured?

[waile]

Lydia is playing horribly... wth?????????

[waile]

all the BS abt her being senior already, more mature... god... its not translating into her match...

[qczhao]

i cant help but notice lydias opponent is called porntip. :p

im such a child...

[simonlovers]

Wow...
Excellent Porntip...
21-6...:cool:

[waile]

because it was 1st Round match..
and they will play 2nd round match..
all 2nd round XD finished except KKK/NHL vs DUTCH XD and Taipe XD vs France XD,,,,
u can see the draw...

i think its a tactic to tire him out... im quite sure putting him to play in the XD will take its toll on him. he is not as fit as LYD... and LYD has benefitted from players withdrawing from their matches in XD... so i think KKK will not taste success again in this yr's edition...

[waile]

what is wrong with lydia?? its so disappointing...

[aulia]

i cant help but notice lydias opponent is called porntip. :p

im such a child...

LOL:D:D

That PORNtip (oopss) really destroying Lydia in 1st set. Let's see what will happen now. Lydia still trailing though...2-7 :o

[etudiant]

what hppnd to Lydia...???? injured??

[waile]

let me correct myself... its disgusting to see her losing with such points...

[waile]

what hppnd to Lydia...???? injured??

if she is injured, she should just retire from the game... its more noble than to have such horrendous scorecard...

[simonlovers]

LOL:D:D

That PORNtip (oopss) really destroying Lydia in 1st set. Let's see what will happen now. Lydia still trailing though...2-7 :o
it's 5-10 now for Lydia

[waile]

why why do we always have to count on few names only... same goes for squash... even if squash get included in 2016 edition of summer olympics... we wouldnt have any real chance for gold medal... by then Nicol Ann David would have been a coach... sianz...

[qczhao]

what hppnd to Lydia...???? injured??

perhaps its nerves? is this her first WC?

[aulia]

I think Lydia just waking up now. EIGHT straight points to level 10-10

Now she is leading!!! 11-10. WOW

[waile]

I think Lydia just waking up now. EIGHT straight points to level 10-10

[**KZ**]

dunno bout u guys but the world champs seem to be getting less exciting for me....maybe cos it's made to be an annual event...just like any tournament....

[qczhao]

dunno bout u guys but the world champs seem to be getting less exciting for me....maybe cos it's made to be an annual event...just like any tournament....

for me, still teh 2nd most exciting one. (olympics is first).

and then All England. ^^

[aulia]

we need UPSET[S] to make the tournament more exciting...:D:D:D

and today is not an upset day....

[eaglehelang]

Is Rexy the one advising ? The news said Jeremy Gan has been hospitalised from suspected H1N1, hope it's not that.

[waile]

Is Rexy the one advising ? The news said Jeremy Gan has been hospitalised from suspected H1N1, hope it's not that.

no, its rosman razak... is it true abt jeremy gan? kinda pleased with the ending of KKK/NHL match.

[eaglehelang]

no, its rosman razak... is it true abt jeremy gan? kinda pleased with the ending of KKK/NHL match.

Most of the online news said it's Jeremy Gan. Some even said Misbun also showed symptoms but only Jeremy sent to hospital. But tv news said doubles coach, so if Jeremy not advising XD, then it's him.
Rosman is MD coach.

[ye333]

Same feeling here...

[leonardklh]

how come fong/mooi hasnt been played?

[JWhue]

for me, still teh 2nd most exciting one. (olympics is first).

and then All England. ^^

nah, the best is still Thomas Cup. but of course individual event it's in that order too.


Not too many upsets today, that's true. KKK/NHL's 2nd match was a bit bizzare in my opinion

I think this annual WC tournament will not be exciting, if result can be
predicted correctly most of the time.
or
maybe the match fix up is almost similar to previous tournaments
or there is no upsets at all.

It will be really not exciting if all your match prediction is correct.

Even though the WC is an annual event, there will be new surprises for sure.

As long as the suspense factor is present without definite result,
there will still be curiosity.

Curiosity breeds interest. Interest breeds excitement.

So far i M still excited about this tournament so far.

I m strill excited about the outcome of matched to be played.

Though on paper some result of the matches may seem definite.

But to watch the proceeding of matches, and how a game is won and lost will always be exciting to watch.

Maybe the agenda for those who find the WC tournament has a narrow scope of interest only. So seeing one is like seeing ALL already:o

[george@chongwei]

some summary of today's match..based on my observation..

The opening match between arvind bhat and the taiwan guy is an interesting one..:D hsieh of taiwan just take whatever oppurtunity being offered to smash ..keep jumping smashing..bhat also played a very good game though.. i think he's under a lot of pressure in that match.. salute to both players.

[ctjcad]

dunno bout u guys but the world champs seem to be getting less exciting for me....maybe cos it's made to be an annual event...just like any tournament....
..that's partly...maybe also the quality of players competing unlike in previous editions..

This MD result of victory for USA, may change the badminton.

On the optimistic point of view, The US public may be more keen to watch badminton

tournament.

I understand the wealthiest man in the world BILL GATES is a also a ardent badmiston fan.

Unfortunately there isnt US badminton player or pair to cheer for.

Just imagine what will be the PRIZE money for badminton tournament if MICROSOFT start to sponsor.

The increase prize money will definitely garner more interest among the WESTERN
global player.

In short Badminton may gradually follow the footstep of Soccer, as US has slowly showed signs as a SOCCER power nation.
Off topic:
- As mentioned earlier, the U.S. has already pocketed a MD title in the 2005 WC edition (Los Angeles), through the same pair Gunawan/Bach. Since their win, the interest hasn't changed much. If there is any sign, then it's minimal.
- The U.S. folks, in most part, are still uninterested in baddy. With what, no coverage, if limited (only during Olympics), on tv/cable at all. Only a very minute percentage has grown interest since but for the most part, the interest still lies only in the influx of the Asian communities spread out all over the states.
- Bill Gates is probably an ardent fan of baddy, but that would be as far as it goes.
- If you're referring to a U.S. born or U.S. grown talent, yes, there is none in this current generation. In the past, there have been great U.S. home-grown talents. In the future, who knows?
- About the far-fetched idea of Microsoft jumping in & chipping in with a sponsorship or prize money, yes, it's been brought up and mentioned before in one of the 2008 Olympics threads.
- Sure, increased prize money will garner interest. But it's part of the solution, as talent will have to be there as well. The exposure to the game has to be there as well, but the U.S. hasn't seen much of televised baddy. So how can the people/public get exposed to the sport??
- Actually, soccer in the U.S. has had a pretty good following (schools with soccer teams/competition). Just that the interest is not as much as the other 3 more popular sports, esp. in professional level. U.S.' Men's soccer has shown signs of the public interest in soccer/footie. But it's still minimal. If you're referring to the U.S. Women's soccer, now, they've been at the top of the world for quite some time.

Btw, i noticed the entire Thailand squad has withdrawn. I've searched for news but couldn't find much detail. Does anyone know what happened? What caused their withdrawal?..and care to share with us??thanks..

[Krisna]

for me, still teh 2nd most exciting one. (olympics is first).

I agree with your opinion...

Yes.... make the World Championship a 2 year thing! But don't make World Junior Championship a 2 year thing.... Better stick to making WJC an annual event due to the 'age limit' thing... :p

Boonsak, Tanongsak, and Porntip are still play, I met them on team bus and Porntip said nothing about withdrawal. but, yes, the doubles player are not there.
Maybe related with this news ... http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/news/india/Swine-flu-scare-hits-World-Badminton-tournament-in-Hyderabad/articleshow/4880095.cms
but i can't rely on this websites 100%, they write before that it's misbun sidek who got fever...
I'll try to find out about Thailand tomorrow.

Thomas Lund said the coach who reported a sore throat and mild fever was assesed by the medical team. He was taken to hospital for test and observation. At this time no confirmed diagnosis and the presenting symptoms indicated that the likelihood of this being H1N1 is small. They are awaiting the results of the test in 48 hours, which is on Wednesday night.

That's the latest from here. Hope the coach is OK, and no more issues and rumours disturbing this championship.

..okay, same news link. Yeah, only the Doubles pairs have withdrawn not the entire team. So quick to decide their withdrawal.

It seems like the local media is, indeed, making these issues/rumors magnanimous. Seems to be over-precautious.

Indeed, H1N1 is the biggest issue here, headlines on every newspaper and tv news. They keep counting suspected, infected case, and casualties every day, start from Pune, Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai...

as long as i know, bird flu is more threatening than H1N1..

Okay..this is info that I got from reliable player who talked to Saralee...
She complained that she got dizzy, etc...she is afraid that she might got IT..so she decided not to play today and will be back to Thailand tomorrow..she did not want to be detained in India if she develops the systom or go to hospital

[madbad]

My congrats of HHY for breezing through the 1st round today. Haven't gone through the pics thread yet to see if there was a pic or two of her. I pray she was not in that horrible pink kiddy-like outfit.

Should be another easy victory in R2. Then the real tournament begins :)
